The calcineurin gene was cloned and disrupted in serotype D strains of Cryptococcus neoformans. Serotype A and serotype D calcineurin mutants were inviable at 37 degrees C and avirulent in mice, whereas only serotype A mutants were cation stress sensitive. Thus, calcineurin plays conserved and divergent roles in serotype A and serotype D strains.
在新型隐球菌的D血清型菌株中,钙调神经磷酸酶基因被克隆并破坏。A血清型和D血清型的钙调神经磷酸酶突变体在37℃下无法存活,且对小鼠无致病性,而只有A血清型突变体对阳离子胁迫敏感。因此,钙调神经磷酸酶在A血清型和D血清型菌株中发挥着保守和不同的作用。
